Education will always evolve - through new standards, new strategies, and new tools.
But one thing will never change:
Relationships will always matter most.
Lead with compassion.
Extend grace generously.
Offer each student a fresh start.
Every single day.
Because at the heart of great teaching is something profoundly simple:
Connection.

There's something about @openmiddle problems that make everyone want to give it a go. Problems like this build persistence and confidence. And hearing students proudly share their process and path to success? Pure gold. #HRCEmath

Multiplying by ten is not "adding a zero"! We can't be teaching rules that expire!

"Read short math stories together. Studies have shown that reading math-focused stories to children, such as Bedtime Math books or the Family Math series, can help boost math scores in school." gse.harvard.edu/ideas/usable….
Day 5 of our #marchmathness @STMath tournament and puzzle numbers are soaring throughout the district! Way to go, @PublicWalpole mathematicians! We can't wait to see Round 1 results on Monday! @elmwalpole @one8alhub @FishrSchWalpole youtu.be/DG6FEuUAO8E

@mathcoachrivera and I put together this padlet of culturally relevant children's literature. There are lots of great titles to set a context for your K-5 math lessons. padlet.com/georginarivera123… #contextmatters @HeinemannPub #MathByTheBook

🔢 Here's a fun game for thinking about place value & counting by tens & ones!
🏆 In this game, players use popsicle sticks that have 10 dots on one side, & 1 dot on the other. The players drop all 10 sticks & count up the total number of dots.
😀 Would you give it a try?

Cori and three friends are going camping. What size tent will they need? Use this app activity for Grades 3–5 to answer this question. mathlearningcenter.org/apps/… #AppActivities
Heartwarming💕 plus I see so many possible math stories as I walk through the village! What a fun activity that would be this week for any grade level! Who will create the most challenging problem @elmwalpole? 🦅🤔

Students can use the Pattern Shapes app to create their own designs, fill in outlines and explore geometry. As they work with shapes, students think about angles, investigate symmetry and compose and decompose larger shapes. mathlearningcenter.org/apps/… #MLCfreeMathApps
